I was looking for God.
And so I left behind my family,
My job, my community and set out.
First I went to a church,
But I did not meet God in the church.
Next I retreated to a monastery, but I did not meet God in the monastery.
Then I made a pilgrimage to the holy sites,
But I did not discover God in the holy sites.
Discouraged, I returned home.
As I hugged my family,
I felt the presence of God.
When I resumed my job,
I perceived God’s guiding hand in my work.
In the midst of involvement in my community,
I realized that God was there with me.
In awe,
I hid my face in my cloak.
